Straight lines or curves in the garden ?
It's a question I always ask my clients and one they are generally unsure how to answer as they think there is a right or wrong answer.
Straight lines tend to convey a more modern, contemporary and formal look whereas curves, more naturalistic and soft. Straight lines are generally easier to construct hence more cost effective and they make more efficient use of space whereas curves need a little more space to flow and can be used to hide features creating a sense of intrigue.
But, on the whole I tell my clients to go with what they prefer, what feels right to them and their sense of aethestic. As the designer it is up to me to create a garden that fits them and their budget; to reflect their personality and sense of practicality.
